Using the numbers that Frank posted and assuming that all the teams are paid for, we would advance 35/39 teams if we were in districts.

192/2989 = .06765
.06765*570 = 38.56
.06765*510 = 34.5

Let me know if I did my math wrong.
Two things. Not sure if you are, but ND should be included in an MN region as most of their attendance is at MN regionals.

Secondly, more non-MN teams can emerge from MN regionals than the opposite.

Non-(MN, ND) teams at MN-hosted Regionals (total 27):
Lake Superior - 7
North Star - 7
10000 Lakes - 5
Northern Lights - 8

counterbalanced by (MN, ND) teams at non-MN hosted Regionals:

Wisconsin - 11
Others?
